Stadiums
Each of the home nations has a "national stadium" in which they play the majority of their home games:
- England - Wembley Stadium, London (90,000)
- Northern Ireland - Windsor Park, Belfast (15,000)
- Scotland - Hampden Park, Glasgow (52,000)
- Wales - Millennium Stadium, Cardiff (74,000)
Of these, the Millennium Stadium is used additionally by the Welsh rugby union team for its home internationals, while Windsor Park is a club ground owned by Linfield that the IFA leases for use by the Northern Ireland national team. In the event that the stadium is unavailable the national team will usually play at a club ground.
These are the top ten football stadiums in the UK by capacity.
